Homecoming Dance Tickets On Sale Through WEDNESDAY

Thank you to everyone who has already gotten your Homecoming Dance tickets! Mr. Fabrizio has graciously re-opened ticket sales through Wednesday, but that's it. He's available in his classroom before school, during homeroom and after school through WEDNESDAY, October 3. Tickets cannot be purchased at the door. If you are bringing someone from another school, you must get a form from Mr. Fabrizio, fill it out ahead of time and turn it in to him when you purchase your tickets. We don’t want to send anyone home from the dance, so make sure you check out Central Catholic’s Dress Code ahead of time.

EXTRA INFO: The two big takeaways here are the dress code and tickets not available at the door. The dance itself is in our gym. Before going into the dance, students will check in, there will be random breathalyzer tests and dress code will be applied including measuring each dress.

Homecoming Week Schedule

Homecoming Week is a very fun, very different kind of week. Here is some helpful information and a schedule for the week's activities. Check it out and, if you have any questions, you know where to find me :)

EXTRA INFO: As long as your student keeps modesty in mind, it's hard to mess up dress up days. You do want to remember that many of the Homeroom Games involve athletic endeavors so, for example, throwing a pair of sneakers in a bag would not be a bad idea if your student is wearing other footwear for a dress up day.

Friday's Schedule

8:00 a.m. Senior Breakfast (Cafeteria)

NOTE: Seniors need to be here by 8:00 a.m. for their breakfast.

All other students report to their first-hour classroom by 8:45 a.m. for attendance before heading to Mass.

12:30 Several Football Players, Cheerleaders and Homecoming Court travel to Partner Schools. They'll be back at school by 2:30.

Homecoming Photo Form

Here is the Homecoming Photo Order Form. Please have your student bring it, with payment to Homecoming. Our photographers will be available for photos from 8:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. on the night of the dance.

EXTRA INFO: Just because you would like a formal picture from Homecoming does not mean that your students know this. Please make sure your students know to stop by the photo booth (with payment) to get that photo.
